RELATIONS

Finally, The Luck turned to My Side...

" I am a creature of 'Hope' in this very vast universe,

I am a creature of 'Love' in this very Cruel- Cunning World,

I am a creature of 'Innocence' in this very Powerful Earth,

I am just a 'Creature', created by The God."

These are the words written in very first image of Asrita Diary. Its past midnight, Arjun is laying on bed reading the images in his phone, in a room allotted for him in servants quarters. Arjun went to next picture, which contains-

"This book is given to me by my Parents as my 'Marriage Gift' . They are aware of my interest towards reading books. But, the irony here is, My uneducated parents brought this Diary, assuming it as a story book."

" I accepted this Diary with a smile with out uttering a single word, because its not just a 'Gift', it is sign of their 'Love'and 'Innocence' . "

" Even though, I don't have a habit of writing a Diary, I started writing these lines on the morning of my 'Wedding day'. "  

"  I don't have any precious moments in my life before this day, I hope, may be I can get some sweet moments to fill this Diary." 

Arjun tossing on the bed, scrolled to next image being curious to know more. 

"I am Asrita Deshmukh, eldest daughter of a poor-Loving- couple. I grown up being Responsible towards my four younger sisters. My father financial status made me away from school and education system.  I started working as a house- hold-maid in our locality from the age of 10. When I am 13 years old, I was asked to work for a Engineer family, who recently shifted to our village on some construction work. Sir and Madam are always strict towards me, but their only daughter- Sana is 19 year old angel. She is always kind to me and treated me as her  sister. She taught me how to write and read 'Hindi'.  After 2 years of learning Hindi, she started teaching me English. But with in few days she was forced in to Marriage by her parents and left our Village."

" But even after she left our Village, I didn't stopped learning English. I used to work as maid during day time, and learn during night time. With the help of translation books and our local school teacher, I finally able to form sentences properly. I used to spend my few savings of money on buying old news papers and second hand story books. With continuous reading and learning, I felt familiar with English Language. By the time, I turned 18, My father started bringing marriage proposals for me. I know, with my little knowledge on 2 languages, I can't achieve anything great. So, instead of staying at my parents home as burden to them, I decided to get married. "

Arjun felt pity for Asrita childhood days. Arjun, himself saw how people used to struggle for food and shelter in his childhood days. Education is very high as Sky to reach, for such people.But he never expected, one of his family member to have such a struggling past. Sighing, he scrolled for next image.

" My father struggled a lot to bring a suitable match for me. But, no man in our village or around our village is ready to marry me. The only reason is : My mother blood line can carry only a female child. According to me, its totally foolish. But, these sick people in our village have blind beliefs. My mother and her mother and her mother, every one gave birth to only female child. How many time they may carry a child, it will be surely a female. And these sick people used to say- That is the reason I had four younger sisters but not a single brother."

" After two years of horrible searching, My parents fixed my marriage with a 65 year old man. Because, my younger sister who born next to me is already 18, and My Parents have more responsibilities coming in their way to fulfill. I accepted this marriage happily with a smile on my face. If this is what written in my fate, then I am more than ready to face it.  Everything is fixed  and arrangements are going on. With in 2 days I am going to marry a 65 year old man. But, everything has changed on that particular day. Along with me and my family, whole village is shocked listening to the decision made by a strange man, standing in middle of the village."
